This one wey everybody dey give Charity money so. The girl go hammer no be small. I go kuku name my pikin Charity and then give all my wealth to her instead of to give am to other people pikins. *hic*

On a serious note though, I don't think I subscribe entirely to that philosophy.
I understand giving some, maybe even half or more (depending on the size of the fortune) to charity, but I certainly would leave enough for my kids to guarsntee them financial security for life - UNLESS, God forbids, it turns out that one's children are useless and totally bereft of intellect and responsibility. As long as I have normal, responsible children, i see no reason why I'd let them go through the hardship I went through. They might not be as lucky as I was (it is not always about hard work), and there's no way to know how they might react to the vicissitudes of life. Some don't take it too well, and they descend into crime and other despicable acts of desperation. why would I want to risk that?

You must be very gullible if you believe this crap!
Like someone mentioned, Bill Gates SELLS vaccines to Africa. They are not free.
Also if they are so good, why not reduce the prices of their goods and services?? Do you know that to be a successful businessman, you need to be ruthless. Business itself is a dirty game where the only thing you think of is how to make more money. And my dear, to get to that level of success, you will not just step on toes, but you will step on people's backs! And you have to be smart and cunning! How then can they now be so sweet and kind enough to leave all that to strangers? Huh?
I dey laff.
Abegi! Only Jesus Christ can lay down his life savings for strangers!
The Bible itself says we should store up inheritance for our children.

The. Primitive nature of the black man has excluded him from the list.
What we think is just ow to loot public fund to ensure the future of our generation instead of creating an enabling environment for them
These days, most Nigerian doctors want to specialize in public health so that they can lay there filthy hands on the money freely donated by hard working men.
A blackman to donate 10% of his Ill gotten wealth .!!! U dey dream

Then Bible says that a wise man leaves inheritance for his children's children; that is why Olusegun Obasanjo is looting, his daughter Iyabo Obasanjo is also looting. GEJ is looting, Patience GEJ is looting and even GEJ's mother is looting and donating buildings whereas she has no work. Tinubu is looting, his wife is looting, also his daughter and son-inlaw. James Ibori looted, his wife looted, his mistress also looted. All because they want to leave inheritance for their children's children.

The Bible is talking about leaving God given wealth as inheritance and not stolen wealth. Can't they learn from these white men?

As much as I agree with their principles, I've got to admit, if I was the son of one of these guys, id be pretty pissed.

In cases of people like Bill gates and Warren Buffet, it's understandable because they are so rich that even if they leave behind just 1% of their fortune, it would still be hundreds of millions of dollars. I wonder what bill gates would do to his stake at Microsoft.

Kelvindwaplord: Cool list but on a serious note , they wont leave even $1 for their kids!??.....


I like these foreigners , naija man no fit do am!...instead naija man go dey think of how to store more money for their #spoiltbrats called children...

You ''like these foreigners'' because you think like a slave, and anything ''these foreigners'' do or say is right in your slaveboy eyes.

If ''these foreigners'' had declared they will ALL leave money to their children, citing various reasons like financial security, business reasons etc, you would sing their praises all day, and commend their foresight, and if Nigerian tycoons had said they would never leave anything to their kids, you would attack the Nigerian tycoons for being greedy, selfish, planless etc.

(By the way, just because these rich people SAY they will leave nothing for their offspring does not mean you should believe them)
